I want to configure the application and prevent the user from going directly to any page in the application without signing in but any user can access the websites homepage.
But when I run the homepage ,login page or any page of the website, I am getting this error:- The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.
I can't find out where I am making mistake. I have posted my web.config file . have a look over it .show me where I am making mistake and what is the solution.

the homepage of the website is under the folder FIRST PAGE
and login and register page is under the folder Registration
The <authentication>
part of your configuration should be inside the <system.web>
section
Just edit your web.config:
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="/Registration/LoginPage.aspx">
</forms>
</authentication>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5.2" />
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5.2" />
</system.web>
